I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible. Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures. ↗

Ti amo. Amo ogni parte di te, ogni pensiero e ogni parola... tutto il complesso, affascinante insieme delle cose che sei. Ti voglio e ho bisogno di te in dieci modi diversi contemporaneamente. Amo tutte le tue stagioni, il modo in cui sei adesso, il pensiero di quanto più bella ancora sarai nei decenni a venire. Ti amo perché sei la risposta a ogni domanda che il mio cuore possa mai formulare. ↗

Phyllida's hair was where her power resided. It was expensively set into a smooth dome, like a band shell for the presentation of that long-running act, her face. ↗
